A method and system are provided for detecting pancreatic trauma in a trauma patient during a surgical operation. The method includes positioning a detection device in contact with the patient's pancreas, applying a chemical indicator to the detection device after removing the detection device from the patient, and detecting a chemical reaction on the detection device that is indicative of the pancreas releasing an enzyme as a result of pancreatic trauma.

A method for identifying a ureter during a medical procedure, the method comprising: providing an electrical stimulator comprising: a shaft having at least one electrode; and a power supply connected to the at least one electrode for providing an electrical signal to the at least one electrode; advancing the shaft so that the at least one electrode contacts tissue; operating the power supply so that the electrical signal is applied to the tissue; and visually observing the tissue to determine the presence of a ureter in the tissue.

According to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for monitoring a pressure in a biliary tract includes: receiving a measured value of a pressure in a biliary tract from a stent for a biliary tract having a pressure sensor mounted therein, by a subcutaneous implant medical device; collecting the measured value of the pressure at a predetermined cycle and transmitting collected information to an external device, by the subcutaneous implant medical device; and analyzing the collected information to expect a timing of biliary obstruction, and providing expected information to the patient, by the external device.

Systems, kits and methods are provided, which analyze the large intestine content and utilize acoustic signals detected during delivery of water into the large intestine and drained large intestine contents to derive large intestine characteristics such as microbiotal analysis. Systems may include a water delivery unit including a water supply and a nozzle connected thereto, configured to introduce water controllably into a patient's large intestine, and an analysis unit that provides information about the drained contents using optical examination or biological assays. The information may be related to acoustic analysis of signals from acoustic sensors that are attachable to a patient's abdomen. A variety of sensor configurations, positioning options, analysis strategies and large intestine characteristics are presented.

Identifying gut microbiota in a specific site of the gut through production of a measurable response following introduction of a challenge agent to the specific site of the gut is disclosed. A composition embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a challenge agent configured to elicit a measurable response by the at least one targeted microbe at the specific site in the gut, the measurable response detectable in a bodily gaseous emission; and a controlled release system encompassing at least a portion of the challenge agent, the controlled release system configured to access the specific site of the gut.
